In girls action, the BUFC Tigers suffered a pair of tough losses on Saturday but ended on a winning note with a 2-1 victory on Sunday in the U-11 Girls division.

The BUFC Crush played four hard-fought games in the U-12 Silver, winning 2-1 Sunday and tying 1-1 Saturday, but falling 2-1 and 2-0 in their other matches.

The BUFC Panthers went undefeated in the U-13 Silver bracket on the weekend but failed to reach the final. They tied 2-2 and 0-0 Saturday before winning 3-0 Sunday but it wasn’t enough to advance.
